Strange, one has nothing to do with the other, but I've heard of crazier things in FS.
I don't understand what you mean by "I have a black screen in the selected aircraft image". Do you mean the aircraft selection screen? Or
the aircraft Preview screen when the FSX GUI pops up?
I have installed FSP on various rebuilds of mine and different OS's and never had this happen. Check your windows event logs. FSP also
has a log file but from your explanation you haven't even started using it yet.
If this were something you bought, then you would have a welcome screen. I don't know if the Demo has this since I never tried the demo
but one thing I would try is before installing FSP, run a flight and switch to windowed mode before exiting (Alt+Enter). Then exit FSX, then
install FSP (or demo), then start up FSX again but keep it in windowed mode and go into the FSP window and start a flight. If the demo
has a welcome screen it might be possible that the welcome screen is falling behind the DX window in full screen mode. I have seen this
happen with others with the full version and once they activate it it didn't pose that problem. Although some of them still had issues where
the FSP dialog box fell through the DX window (Black screen).
